Question

Logan collected pledges for the charity walk-a-thon. He is receiving total contributions of $65 plus $20 for every mile he walks. How many miles will Logan need to walk in order to receive $325?

Answer 1

Number of miles= 13

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

He is receiving total contributions of $65 plus $20 for every mile he walks.

To calculate the number of miles to reach $325, we need to use the following formula:

Total collection= fixed contribution + variable contribution per mile*number of miles

325= 65 + 20*number of miles

260/20 = number of miles

number of miles= 13
